Tidd Ross Todd (TRT) has promoted Jordin Hutchinson to the position of crane sales engineer.
His career in the crane and heavy lift industry began in the Bay of Plenty working as a crane technician at McLeod Cranes and Hiabs for five years upon successfully completing his apprenticeship.
His talent and dedication soon caught the attention of TRT, leading to an offer to join its crane service team in the Waikato. Hutchinson has been a valuable and highly skilled TRT crane technician for over two years.
He will be responsible for driving crane sales throughout New Zealand for the TIDD Pick and Carry Crane along with TRT’s national distributorship for Cargotec’s Hiab products, Kobelco Crawlers, and the complete stable of Manitowoc products including Manitowoc Crawler Cranes, Grove All-Terrain and Rough Terrain Cranes, and Potain Tower Cranes.
TRT innovation and sales director Bruce Carden says since joining the team at TRT, Hutchinson has “demonstrated notable success and commitment in embracing new challenges and delivering valuable results in our crane service division.”

“His profound interest in the heavy haulage and lift industry and his innate passion for problem-solving have been instrumental in his success,” Carden says.
“We have taken a new direction in our important appointment for sales staff at TRT. When customers are placing an order for a large piece of capital plant involving large sums of money it’s important, they feel confident with the person they are placing their trust in. Having the right person with the technical skills and knowledge will provide that trust. I saw in Jordin an individual coming through TRT that could provide that trust.”
Hutchinson says he’s excited about the opportunities the new role presents.
“I am thrilled to accept this new position as it allows me to grow professionally and contribute to our customer’s success in a different capacity.”
“One aspect that I have truly enjoyed whilst working at TRT is the strong moral culture that underpins the company. I am extremely grateful to work in a business that rewards hard work and dedication, values their employees, and makes room to advance professionally within the company.
“I have extensive knowledge across various crane brands, including our competitors. I have always had a passion for the quality and reliability of Manitowoc, Kobelco, and Hiab,” he says.
